Business software discovery
Use Capterra endpoints to turn business software discovery into repeatable API requests with documented inputs and JSON responses.
Turn public Capterra software listings and reviews into normalized JSON for software discovery, competitor research, review analysis, and product enrichment. Search by category or keyword, resolve a product, then page through its public reviews without maintaining a scraper.
Search business software, retrieve product profiles, and collect public Capterra reviews as structured JSON.

Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Capterra endpoint catalog — 3 endpoints, 7 documented request parameters, and 3 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
3 documented Capterra endpoints, grouped into 2 request families — Product and Search.
7 request parameters are documented across those Capterra endpoints, 6 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
3 of the 3 Capterra endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 3 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Capterra endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 500 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
3 hosted MCP tools back the Capterra endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.
/capterra/product
/capterra/search
Endpoint catalog
/capterra/searchReturns Capterra search-result products (id, name, url, description, rating). Credential-free public Capterra data, rendered from the search page through proxied browser renderers. Note: Capterra renders a fallback product list even for queries with no genuine match, rather than a distinct empty-results page, so callers should treat low-relevance results as an upstream characteristic, not a bug.
MCP tool capterra_search
/capterra/productReturns a normalized Capterra product profile: name, description, category, and aggregate rating. Credential-free public Capterra data, rendered from the product page through proxied browser renderers.
MCP tool capterra_product
/capterra/product/reviewsReturns a page of normalized Capterra reviews (author, headline, rating) plus the product's aggregate rating. Credential-free public Capterra data, rendered from the reviews page through proxied browser renderers.
MCP tool capterra_reviews

Reviews & Reputation
Turn public Better Business Bureau (bbb.org) pages into structured JSON — search or browse businesses by category and location, resolve a full business profile with its rating, accreditation, and contact detail, and pull a business's complaint history with response threads. Credential-free.
How to scrape Capterra
Crawlora's 3 Capterra endpoints return software search results, product profiles, and public reviews as normalized JSON without a Capterra account — capterra.com does not answer plain HTTP clients at all, so each page is rendered through managed browsers on Crawlora's side.
Pass a free-text q to /capterra/search — a software category, a product name, or a use case. Each result carries a numeric product_id, name, url, description, and rating.
Capterra renders a fallback product list for queries with no genuine match rather than a distinct no-results page. The endpoint passes that through instead of inventing an empty response, so filter on relevance yourself.
Pass the numeric product_id — the id segment of a Capterra /p/{id}/{slug}/ URL — to /capterra/product for the normalized profile: name, description, category, and aggregate rating.
/capterra/product/reviews takes the same product_id plus an optional page, returning author, headline, and rating per review alongside the product's aggregate rating.
FAQ
Search for the product, take the numeric product_id off the search result, then call /capterra/product/reviews with that id and a page number. Each page returns normalized reviews plus the product's aggregate rating.
It is the numeric segment of a Capterra product URL — /p/238595/Scraper-API/ has product_id 238595 — and it is returned on every search result, so you rarely need to read one off a URL by hand.
Capterra serves a fallback product list instead of a distinct no-results page. That is an upstream characteristic rather than a bug in the endpoint, which returns exactly what Capterra rendered — score the results for relevance on your side.
capterra.com does not respond to plain HTTP clients — Crawlora's own tech-stack fingerprinter gets no response from it on either scheme — so the pages have to be rendered in a real browser before there is any HTML to parse. These endpoints do that behind your API key.
No. These endpoints collect public software listing and review data and require only your Crawlora API key.
